New Exhibition at TCD Arts Building Concourse
New Artworks for the University
Trinity College Dublin Arts Collection are delighted to share with you a selection of the artworks that have been acquired in recent years for our university community. On exhibition across four areas in the TCD Arts Building Concourse.
These artworks, like all our existing artworks, live a varied life, being rotated throughout the College, in publicly accessible spaces & quieter, more intimate rooms, building interesting histories and biographies with all the people they meet and with whom they engage – they also find themselves being lent out to external exhibitions too.
Know that they will live and breathe and move through our campus and that they will impact, illuminate & connect with so many people’s lives – this is certain.
During the first term of the academic year 2023-24 we will be asking some of our students to research and write about the artworks. We will also ask them to interview the artists and will share all this in due course online.
You will find them by walking into the Arts Building (opposite the Douglas Hyde Gallery) which is accessed most easily from Nassau Street, and walking in the first set of sliding glass doors on the right hand side. Walk straight ahead and on the right of the entrance to the Lecky Library you will find the panels 1, 1A, 2 & 3 as you move towards the back doors of the building.
Delighted and very honoured to see my painting in TCD Art Collection go on display alongside some very fine artists and artworks. Proud moment to walk through the Arts Concourse and see the exhibition.
Huge thanks to Catherine Giltrap, Curator and Head of the University Art Collections for her work in highlighting the collections, the recent acquisitions and bringing it to public attention the great work of the TCD Art Collection.
